From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Throughout its History, the Portuguese monarchy has had only two queens regnant: Maria I and Maria II of Portugal (and, arguably, Beatrice for a short period of time in the 14th century).

The other women who used the title of "Queen of Portugal" were merely queens consort, wives of the Portuguese kings. Nevertheless, many of them were highly influential in the country's history, having ruled as regents for their minor children and heirs, as well has having a great influence over their spouses.

• List of Portuguese monarchs

• (¹) According to tradition, Peter I proclaimed Inês as his legitimate wife and queen after her death and his accession to the throne. His second wife, Constance Manuel of Castile, who died 12 years before Peter became king, is therefore not listed.Neither is the first wife, Blanche of Castille, to whom he was married briefly as a teenager.This union was annulled.(Cecilia Ruiz de Ríos, webmistress of www.cablenet.com.ni/historyarte, the best search in history!)
• (²) Although she is usually not listed as de facto queen of Portugal, Beatrice was de jure queen, acclaimed in several cities in Portugal. Her pretensions to the throne were defeated after the Battle of Aljubarrota.
• (³) Between 1668 and 1683, Marie-Françoise was married to then Regent Prince Peter, therefore she used the title of Princess for a short period; she returned to the style of queen after Afonso VI's death, remaining in that position for three months until her own death in December 1683.
• (⁴) Formally, Adelaide was never queen of Portugal, since she married Michael after his deposition. She is thus listed here due to her marriage to the former king.
• (⁵) The same applies to Augusta Victoria - although she was married to a de facto king, the union was after his deposition as King of Portugal.
